Sunset Retreat at the Lake | Sleeps 24 | Pool

🌅 Sunset Retreat at the Lake – Two Homes, One Epic Lake Norman Getaway
Cozy + Modern | 10 Bedrooms | 7.5 Baths | Sleeps 24
🏖 Private Saltwater Pool & Hot Tub | 🚤 Private Dock | 🔥 Fire Pit | 🎯 Game Rooms | 🛶 Kayaks | 🐾 Dog-Friendly

Welcome to Sunset Retreat at the Lake, a rare dual-home lakefront compound designed for unforgettable group getaways on beautiful Lake Norman. Located in Sherrills Ford, this expansive, pet-friendly and kid-friendly retreat brings together the warm charm of Sunset Cottages and the sleek, modern elegance of Sensational Sunsets—creating the perfect setting for large families, multi-generational trips, girls' weekends, milestone celebrations, and friend groups who want space to truly spread out.

With ten bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and room for up to 24 guests, this one-of-a-kind property offers the best of both worlds: togetherness when you want it and privacy when you need it—all framed by breathtaking lake views from sunrise to sunset.

🌿 Sunset Cottages – Cozy, Comfortable & Family-Friendly

The cottage side of the retreat delivers warmth, character, and an easygoing lake vibe. The main cottage features an open-concept layout with exposed brick and shiplap accents, a fully equipped kitchen, a sunny dining nook, and a welcoming living space filled with natural light. Two queen bedrooms—including one with an en suite bath—offer restful retreats for couples or grandparents.

Just steps away, the guest cottage provides a private hideaway with a king bedroom, a built-in full-over-full bunk room kids absolutely love, a cozy living area, and a kitchenette—ideal for quiet mornings, teens wanting their own space, or families traveling together.

🌊 Sensational Sunsets – Modern Luxury & Big-Group Living

Across the property, Sensational Sunsets stuns with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing panoramic lake views. The open main level is built for connection, featuring a bright living room with a stone fireplace and oversized sofa, a dining space made for long, laughter-filled meals, and a large, fully stocked kitchen perfect for feeding a crowd.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a king bed, spa-like bath, and extra space for a crib or reading nook—ideal for families with little ones. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include another king suite, multiple queen rooms, and a custom bunk room that turns bedtime into a sleepover experience. A second family room with a massive sectional, dual TVs, and shuffleboard creates the ultimate hangout zone for game nights and movie marathons.

☀️ Outdoor Living Made for Memories

Outside is where Sunset Retreat at the Lake truly shines. The private saltwater pool and hot tub create a resort-style backyard perfect for sun-soaked afternoons and evening relaxation. The screened-in porch and expansive deck invite alfresco dining with lake breezes, while the fire pit sets the scene for s'mores, storytelling, and unforgettable nights under the stars.

The private dock extends into the calm waters of Lake Norman—ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or tying up a rental boat for a full day on the lake. The spacious grounds offer a fenced-style, worry-free feel for kids and dogs, plus room for yard games, cornhole tournaments, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.

⭐ One Destination. Endless Possibilities.

Whether you're splashing in the pool, soaking in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, or sipping coffee on the porch as the lake wakes up, Sunset Retreat at the Lake is designed to bring people together in comfort and style.

This is more than a place to stay—it's a group-friendly Lake Norman destination where memories are made, traditions begin, and every sunset feels like a celebration.

🌅 Book your stay today and experience Lake Norman living—together, and at its best.
